EMA Research: Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall Strengthens and Simplifies Multicloud Network Security, October 2023
Only 12% of multicloud enterprises say it is very easy to manage security policies consistently across multiple clouds. That number tells you everything about where the industry is stuck. Independent analyst firm EMA examined Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall and what it means for the 88% of organizations still struggling. This is not a vendor data sheet. It is independent research on whether distributed cloud firewalling actually solves the problem.

What you'll find inside
Why both approaches most enterprises rely on today, cloud-provider-native firewalls and centralized virtual appliances, create the exact problems they were meant to solve
What EMA's own research found about where security risk ranks as a pain point for network operations teams supporting multicloud, and what those teams say they actually need from a multicloud networking solution
How distributing firewall enforcement directly into cloud application flows, rather than routing traffic to a central inspection point, changes the performance, cost, and scalability equation
Why replacing cloud-native NAT gateways with Aviatrix delivers cost savings alongside security improvements, and how EMA validates the business case

Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall
Lifting and shifting datacenter firewalls into the cloud created security gaps, performance limitations, and management complexity. Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall (DCF) provides cloud native, dynamic security by:

The Containment Era — Why the Threat Model Outgrew the Architecture
The Cascade attack of March 2026 proved what security leaders suspected: detection-first architecture can no longer keep pace with threats that move through trusted channels. This whitepaper examines the Architectural Divide, the growing gap between cloud workload deployment and security enforcement, and explains why blast radius has become the metric that matters most. Download to understand the structural shift your security strategy needs to address.

Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall Design and Implementation Guide
Knowing you need a Distributed Cloud Firewall is one thing. Knowing how to design and deploy it in a way that actually enforces your security intent across every workload, every cloud, at scale is another. This guide gives cloud and network practitioners the architectural patterns and step-by-step configuration guidance they need to implement Aviatrix DCF with confidence, without the guesswork.

Architecture Won - A Fortune Global 500 Enterprise Has the Block Logs to Prove It
A Fortune Global 500 enterprise used Aviatrix to quickly block malicious IPs tied to the LiteLLM supply chain attack. The casestudy highlights how the right cloud security architecture enables fast action, real-time enforcement, and stronger protection without added complexity.

Aviatrix Breach Lock: Rapid Response Program for Cloud Data Exfiltration
When attackers gain a foothold in your cloud environment, data exfiltration can begin within seconds. Long before your DFIR team has established situational awareness, sensitive data is already moving. CNAPPs surface posture issues. EDR protects endpoints. SASE secures the perimeter. None of them stop workload-driven cloud egress during an active incident. Aviatrix Breach Lock is a free rapid response program that gives organizations immediate visibility, workload-level attribution, and cloud native egress containment during an active or suspected breach, with no agents, no downtime, and no architecture changes.

Futuriom Report: Building Autonomous Infrastructure with Observability, Orchestration and AIOps
The way enterprises manage infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental shift. Observability, AIOps, and agentic AI are converging to create systems that detect, decide, and act autonomously, without human intervention. But the promise of autonomous infrastructure comes with a catch: a patchwork of scripting tools, siloed dashboards, and fragmented platforms cannot deliver the governance, safety, and coordination that agentic automation requires. This Futuriom research report, sponsored by Aviatrix, examines where the market is heading and what enterprises need to get there.

Defend Yourself Against Ransomware: Checklist
Hybrid and multicloud network environments are complex; protecting yourself against ransomware isn’t as simple as identifying a couple of gaps and patching them up. You need a systemic, defense-in-depth strategy to blanket your environment with protection against ransomware. This checklist helps you get started, with real-world guidance including enforcing zero trust segmentation, centralizing policy management and visibility, and implementing always-on risk scoring.

Is Zero Trust out of Reach? Why you need a Cloud Native Security Fabric™
CISOs have never had more security tools to choose from. CNAPPs, CSPM, SASE, SSE, NGFWs. Each solves a narrow problem and leaves gaps that attackers are only too happy to exploit. None of them stop lateral movement. None of them address the east-west traffic flowing between cloud workloads. And none of them make cloud native Zero Trust practical at scale. This independent whitepaper by Intellyx analyst Jason Bloomberg examines why the cybersecurity alphabet soup falls short, and why a Cloud Native Security Fabric is the missing piece.
